HC Deb 27 January 1942 vol 377 cc584-5W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can arrange that all regimental funds are audited by qualified persons within the division, but not attached to the units to which the regimental funds belong?

Captain Margesson

The procedure for the auditing of regimental funds is laid down in King's Regulations and detailed instructions are issued for the guidance of officers concerned. The normal practice is for the proceedings of an audit board composed of officers of the unit concerned to be placed before the commander under whom the unit is serving after approval by the commanding officer. I do not consider there is any necessity to alter the existing procedure which has worked satisfactorily for many years.
